He didn't 'discover' it. For God's sake, there were natives living there already. It's like nothing exists until a white man 'discovers' it

They always leave out that he was a missionary.

David Livingstone explored the river; he didn’t discover it. There were people living along the river before Livingstone got there. For goodness sake stop using discover. It’s just as people erroneously say invented when they mean innovated!

Eurocentric wording of the question.

I think the question needs to say “Who was the first white person to come across this river?” It is incredibly rude to pretend that the millions of black people who lived by the river for untold centuries count for nothing.
